Lots of language learners are afraid that they will not understand everything when communicating with other people. It’s not important to understand every sign of a sentence. Your skills will constantly improve and it will become easier to understand the content.

Starting early with your learning will mean that you have time to deal with things in small steps. Even a large goal is more approachable if you break it down into smaller ones and just get started. #deaf #asl #deafcommunity #deafculture

To make conversation you need people to interact with. Most cities or towns have a local Deaf community. Surround yourself with people who know how to sign. If you live far away from a big city, try to find a practice buddy via the internet (e.g. in Facebook groups).

Calvin Young aims to encourage people from the Deaf community to travel the world and break down communication barriers. If you love exploring the world through stunning photographs and videos, join his more than 24,000 subscribers on YouTube: youtube.com/c/seektheworld…

It is vital to learn the ASL alphabet. Knowing the alphabet will give you the skill to sign any word. So, if you forget a sign you can simply spell it. To become better at fingerspelling, try to spell objects you see around yourself. #deaf #asl #deafcommunity #deafculture
